Leave your thoughts about The Stand Up.
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe main shortcoming of this film is that the story Mr. Wexler finally decides to tell is utterly ordinary. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerFor a film about a stand-up comedian to be mirthless is dispiriting; more problematic, however, is that The Stand Up doesn't make up for that absence of humor with any legitimate drama. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe bottom line: Mirthless and unmoving drama about a depressed stand-up comedian finding a new life as a kindergarten teacher. |
